PLAQUE OR PANEL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 319,680, dated June 9, 1885.

Application filed September Q5, 1884. (No modeL) To all whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, EDWARD DE PLANQUE, of Hoboken, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Plaques and Panels, of which the following isafull, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in the manufacture of plaques' and panels on which paintings and drawings are produced.

The invention consistsin a plaque or panel formed of two layers of canvas or duck united by a mixture of glue,whiting, and nely-pul verized Wood, the front or face of the plaque or panel being provided with a covering of Whiting and glue,on which covering the painting or drawing is produced.

- Reerence is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both the figures.

Figure 1 is a face view of my improved plaque. Fig. 2 is an enlarged cross sectional view of part of the same.

Two sheets,A,of canvas, duck, orlike fabric, are united by a layer, B, of a mixture of glue,

Whiting, and pulverized wood spread between the sheets,and the plaque or panel thus formed is pressed or otherwise given the desired shape, and is then dried.

A layer, C, of Whiting and glue is spread on the face ofthe plaque or panel, and a like but thinner layer is spread on the back. The painting or drawing is produced on the face of the layer C.

The panel or plaque may have any desired shape, size, or color, and may be made at or concave.

The mixture of glue,whiting, and Wood binds the sheets A together and stiffens the plaque or panel.

Having thus described my invention,I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent-- A plaque or panel formed of two sheets of canvas or duck united by a mixture of glue, Whiting, and pulverized wood, the face of the panel being provided with a coating of whiting and glue, substantially as herein shown v and described.
